I installed this 9Ft keel shield on my 23 Yamaha 222XE and it’s worth every penny. I had this keel shield on my wave-runners and they do an amazing job in protecting your keel from constant abrasions. Especially if you life to beach your watercraft’s . Install was not difficult just make sure to prep the surface well. The pictures posted are from the day after using the boat in the lake .

Used one cut in half, sealed with 3M. Used on our 1998 catamaran cruiser.

Very good and high quality item. Make sure and follow the instructions precisely.

I have used this product and fiberglass and it works great but not so well on aluminum.

I just bought a 18' Nitro Z7. The boat didn't come with a keel protector and I could notice the wear on the keel. I read a ton of reviews and watched a youtube about this product and decided to give it a try and put it on myself. I purchased the 6 foot bc I felt the 7 foot would be overkill. If you have a 18 foot boat, 6 foot is all that you need. I opened the pack, read the instructions and put it on myself in my garage. I live in Louisiana where it's 100 degrees outside right now and let the shield sit in the sun for 15 minutes to be easier to work with. It literally took my 15 minutes to put this on by myself and it works perfect.The instructions tell you to draw an outline of the shield and/or mask off the area you are working with. I didn't go through all of that bc I'm impatient and it really was a waste of time IMO. If you're a perfectionist, go for it. Just takes more time. As far as the application, I just marked the middle (7th) rise with a white crayon so I could use it as a guide going down the keel for a centerline. I layed flat on my back under the boat with the keel of the boat centered above me where I was applying. I placed the shield down the center of my body, placed it where I wanted it to start at the top and worked it all the way down like the instructions said. Very easy. I'm just your average Joe who has never done this before and it couldn't have been easier. I'm happy with it so far, let's hope it stays on!

Off recommendations of others who have these, I bought 2 to put on my small fiberglass fishing skiffs. First, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS!! You can't cut corners or skip any steps. Watch videos if needed. Prep is very important !. Installation is not overly hard, just take your time, do it right and they'll be on there forever. Tip: turn the smoother tool on edge and run down the grooves.

Great people to do business with.

Good instructions quite easy to install mind you I had my boat on a car hoist

Easy to install, very good quality to protect

Es muy buena calidad. El líquido activador del pegamento es poco prectico y poca cantidad.

Installed easily on my 10 foot tender. No issues. It's a little pricy so we'll have to wait and see how it stands up. Came with excellent instructions.

Pega muy fuerte al Vasco tal comolo describen
